Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza

Although critics say that The Museum Thyssen-Bornemisza hosts some of the master's worsts and the unknown's best I think we would all beg to differ that this museum is just, if not more amazing than all the other unbelievable museums in Madrid.
The history of the Museum dates back to the donation of works by Lord Thyssen-Bornemisza himself, and this collection is now referred to as the permanent collection of the museum. The rest of the collection was donated by his wife. For more history and light reading, the museum website is very insightful: http://www.museothyssen.org/en/thyssen/historia

We spent a wonderful afternoon among the works of great masters, admiring all from Van Gogh to Joan Miró.

one of my personal favorites: Van Gogh 

The collection is amazing. I don't think any of us could imagine housing that amount of amazing works.
Before our museum experience ended, we couldn't leave without first stopping for some cafe con leche and a couple postres... so we chose to relax a bit in the museum's very swish restaurant.

Though the food was spectacular, I think the ambiance made it satisfying. We were happy to rest in such a cool place after strolling among the works of very famous artists. We almost fit right in, with our fabulous Spanish conversation and all the cafe con leche. :)
